Running over Lawyers

A truck driver used to amuse himself by running over lawyers he would
see walking down the side of the road. Every time he would see a
lawyer
walking along the road, he would swerve to hit him, and there would
be a
loud "THUMP" and then he would swerve back on the road.

One day, as the truck driver was driving along he saw a priest hitch
hiking. He thought he would do a good turn and pulled the truck over.

He asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?"

.

"I'm going to the church 5 miles down the road!", replied the priest.

"No problem, Father! I'll give you a lift. Climb in the truck".

The happy priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver
continued down the road. Suddenly the truck driver saw a lawyer
walking
down the road and instinctively he swerved to hit him. But then he
remembered there was a priest in the truck with him, s! o at the last
minute he swerved back to the road, narrowly missing the lawyer.
However
even though he was certain he missed the lawyer, he still heard a
loud
"THUD". Not understanding where the noise came from he glanced in his
mirrors and when he didn't see anything, he turned to the priest and
said, "I'm sorry Father. I almost hit that lawyer".

"That's okay", replied the priest.

"I got him with the door!
